What role did judicial review play in Brown v. Board of Education?

Judicial review is the Supreme Court’s power to determine whether laws or government actions are constitutional. In Brown v. Board of Education, the Court used that power to rule that racial segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause, so “separate but equal” was unconstitutional. The Court did not reject judicial review or claim original jurisdiction over school districts.
